VectorR, 30 Sep 2020By the way, Xperia 5 II is not about Wireless charging at all. You won't see it there.true... i mean the 5 i, but 5 i doesnt have wireless charging too... i guess the only advantage of 5 i over 5 ii is the price... that is if he or she cant get 5 ii with the freebies... i think 5 i is still a good buy though...

[deleted post]The Note 20 Ultra, launched at $1300 is also $400 more than this, so why don't you compare it with similarly priced devices, and try to use some grey matter

People are mad that this is the perfect phone in 2020. Unapologetically non-gimmicky.
So funny.

note20 ultra got 500 more mah but short of 14 hours compared to 5 ii... at least give that to 5 ii... ha ha...

I bought the "1 II" a month ago, and they never announced a small... moreha ha... you can choose to sell your 1 ii...
but if you are only concerned about the size... 5 ii is over 90% of the size of 1 ii... so i guess it is not that significant... previous compacts are less than 90% of their bigger sibling...
also, before you sell your 1 ii, just in case you are taking my advice seriously, think about what you are going to lose...
me... i prefer 1 ii, so i still pushed for the import...
rumors say, 1 ii will get some software improvements on 5 ii... btw i also need a compact one, since my z1 compact is aging... that is why i got me a used xz2 compact...

SM25, 29 Sep 2020Is it worth waiting 5mk ii or to go now with 5 from 2019?it depends on your preference... audio jack, wireless charging, high refresh rates...
as for the price, any will do...
5 i has significantly settled the price down...
5 ii has obviously high price but if you preorder with the freebies, that isnt bad...
if you want the 5 ii but missed the freebies, you have to wait for a year for the price to settle down... its what i do... i even bought one of my xperias two years after release... but recently i bought a used xz2 compact, first time to do it... fortunately it works great and at prestine condition...
compare the specs and review of both and see which fits you...

L.O.R.D, 29 Sep 2020LOL. Well that's good your phones haven't had this issue so far, and true, the port ... moresad about hmd phones, then...
i remember, though it is not usd port, but the charging port of n8 by other users... at my end, the charger are the ones breaking... ha ha... the part where my n8 is deteriorating is the card ports cover... just need to put a clear tape, my case is open on that area so no chance of holding it...
hopefully hmd use more rigid parts if they want to continue holding on to the "rigid phone status"

Suza, 29 Sep 2020Preordered the Xperia 5 II on day one. To be honest I was thinking of waiting for a price drop... morethat is a good move i guess, esp if the freebies do not depreciate faster than smartphones... with that i can still say that 1 ii is a bit better with freebies, headphones or earphones on or near flagship...
the next second best time is to wait for a year or two if you are really into getting it at a good price...
so yeah, preorder it with the freebies or wait for a significant price drop...
sadly i dont get a freebie with an import from hongkong (no official xperia store in the philippines)

Just as curiosity ....
Do ppl here know that screen colour accuracy decreases as brightness rises or goes down?
For example, any screen will show better accuracy at 340 nits than 800 or 100, by huge margin.

No phones from Sharp, LG or Sony there.
Even Apple gets high score, I have ipad and can say I expected much better screen.
By the way, how many phones have got A+ from them lately? All tested since 2018.
What a coincidence.
I wonder how Samsung gets A+ when since S7 all them have same issues with white, red, gray and green. The warm tones that you cannot get rid even setting cool colour profile.
He is display expert. He could force delta below 0.8 on Xperia 1.
Feel free to watch.
